Something apparently related to Recall is screwing up recovering inventory from Tourists

[Lisias]

On 1.12.x, Tourists can't keep their inventory!

Once you launch a craft with a fully equipped Tourist, their inventory became empty and you loose the equipment.

You can equip them after launch, but if you recover them you will loose the equipment the same.

I don't have the slighest idea about the reason - Recall don't tell Tourists from Crew, so I'm betting that something else may be stomping Recall's toes. But I have to register this somewhere, so here we are.

I would be less worried if the problem were affecting everybody, and not only tourists.
